welcome
stuart MCLaren head CoaCh Welcome one and all to our second home League game in as many Saturdays. In particular I’d like to extend a warm welcome to the players, staff, officials, and supporters of Highgate United to Loughborough University Stadium. Last Saturday was best described as a game that had highs and lows for us. The lows came in the first half in the shape of a couple of errors which resulted in our visitors, Walsall Wood, taking a two goal lead into the break. The highs came in the form of our second half performance. The energy and enthusiasm, not to mention quality in our attacking play, was very positive but I was most impressed with the resilience and perseverance of our players. To respond as well as they did to being 2-0 down at half time at home and to continue pushing to get something from the game right until the end filled me with a sense that we are making progress on many fronts.
4
And in respect to our aims that is what we have to be satisfied with. The nature of our club means that we will continually have changes in our squad with our oldest, most experienced and sometimes most capable players moving on having completed their degrees. A glance at last season’s squad in comparison to that which we have now shows that we no longer have some very capable individuals who were very familiar with how we do things. They have been replaced with some other very capable players with great potential but they are still learning those things. Another positive from the week was progressing to the next round of the Leicestershire County Cup with a 5-0 win away at Heather St Johns. Having been knocked out of the League Cup and the FA Vase we will have to focus on this competition if we are to have a final to play in towards the end of the season. Enjoy the match today which, with Highgate one of the form teams in the League so far this season, should be a very entertaining one. Stuart McLaren

MATCH REPORT MATCH REPORT LOUGHBOROUGH UNIVERSITY V WALLSALL WOOD - 23/11/13
In a game of two halves, Loughborough clawed their way back from a two goal deficit to earn a point against Walsall Wood last weekend. In conditions unconducive to Loughborough’s trademark passing game, Walsall Wood found themselves two nil up at half-time and firmly on track to pick up what would have been their sixth win of the season. In the opening stages of the game possession changed hands regularly with neither team seizing the initiative. Loughborough were the victims of their own demise for the opening goal as a mis-placed pass left them exposed and allowed the visitors to break in numbers. As a result, Walsall Wood’s Joey Butlin was cynically, yet arguably necessarily, brought down on the edge of the box. Just off centre to the left hand side of the penalty area, the free kick was set up perfectly for a right footed player. Fittingly, the man who made the free kick finished it off, as Butlin curled the ball just past the out-stretched right hand of Loughborough’s Brendan Hazlett. One nil up just before the half hour mark and momentum firmly with them, Walsall Wood sensed the opportunity to double their lead before half time

and allow breathing space heading into the second half. Another instance of sloppy defending allowed Walsall Wood to do exactly that as Joey Butlin found himself unmarked on the penalty spot. Butlin was allowed time to control, compose himself and comfortably slot the ball into the bottom left corner. Loughborough were now trying desperately to get a foothold in the game, but were lucky not to find themselves three nil down at half time as Hazlett instinctively stuck out a strong right hand to deny Walsall Wood’s Ahmet Bilgimer. Loughborough started the second half with a greater intensity and were duly rewarded just a few minutes after the restart. Jack Poxon fired in from the edge of the box to

reduce Walsall Wood’s lead to just one. Throughout the second half Loughborough lacked conviction in the final third and were left frustrated as their overwhelming dominance was time and again repelled by some resilient defending. Loughborough’s best chance to equalise came after 65 minutes and it was no surprise that it came as a result of Loughborough’s man of the match, Tristan Dunkley. His pace, strength and sheer determination allowed him to get to the by-line and cut inside. With no one in support, Dunkley tried his luck from a near impossible angle and saw his effort cannon off the near post. Walsall Wood’s desperate defending and Loughborough’s growing confidence in attack made for exciting football, but still Loughborough failed to equalise. The game was becoming significantly stretched as Loughborough committed more and more men forward in search of that vital second goal. With both teams beginning to tire, Walsall Wood regained some composure and started to look threatening on the counter attack as they searched for a third that would have surely put the game to bed. But, in the 87th minute Johannes Mueller broke down the right hand side and managed to cut the ball back to the near post. The resulting cross was met with a hooked volley that bounced into space off the underside of the bar. With the Walsall Wood keeper scrambling to get back across his six yard box, the bouncing ball was gleefully met with the head of substitute Sam Cook. He made no mistake in converting a relatively simple chance to make the score 2-2
and subsequently earn Loughborough a well-deserved point. At full-time Stuart McLaren commented: “We played against a good team in the first half. That said, I think we got in as many attacking positions as much as they did. The first goal came from a bit of slackness from us and at half-time we spoke about improving these fine details. “We needed to score the next goal and to get it so early gave the guys that extra belief they might have needed. I am really pleased with the response from half-time, it was good to get a point from it in the end but I still feel like it was two points dropped.” McLaren’s full interview is available to smartphone users by scanning this code

THEN..
NOW...
Why did you choose to study at Loughborough and how did you get involved with the football club?
I chose to study at Loughborough because when searching for universities, my aim was to find somewhere that offered me a high level degree course coinciding with an opportunity to take football seriously. Loughborough easily provides both of these. I got involved with the football club by contacting Stuart McLaren prior to me moving down and attending a pre season training session.
What is your best moment/memory as part of the club? As I am fairly new to the
club, only playing a handful of games, my best moment has to be scoring on my debut.
If you hadn’t chosen to come to university what would you be doing? I
like to think I was being fairly productive and being involved with various things also, when back home I do a bit of football coaching within schools and local communities.
A lot of players say their families
10
have provided a lot of support in their career, how big an influence has yours had on you? My family have provided
mass amounts of support in many of ways. Obvious ones like finical help and travel go unknown sometimes but I am hugely appreciative. But for me my family have provided the biggest influence when it comes down to the tough times, they have always been there to support me through setbacks or whenever I have needed them.
What is the biggest asset you have as a player? I always try to display a
positive attitude no matter what; attitude is sometimes a decisive factor between winning and losing.
How do you manage to balance the life of a student with your football?
I like to plan ahead in order to avoid sacrificing one or the other. Keeping on top of work can sometimes be difficult however I ensure that I have appropriate balance between all aspects.
What is the hardest thing about being part of Loughborough University FC? I wouldn’t describe anything as being hard
www.loughboroughsport.com
Born - 05/10/1994 Position Centre Midfield/ Striker Height - 6ft 1 Weight - 78kg Year of Study - 1st Degree Studying Psychology yet but there are certainly challenges. We and everyone around the club demand the most from each other so we set our expectations high. In football these occasional slip and the challenging part is putting them back on track as soon as possible.
What are your plans for when you leave university? Do you hope to pursue a career in the game? I currently have no
set-in-stone long term plans and would describe myself as an open-minded person. I certainly won’t close any doors too soon.

ALUMNI INTERVIEW WITH
MICHAEL COOPER Role - 1st Team Sports Scientist Current Club – Swindon Town FC Past Clubs - Watford FC, Loughborough Students FC, Tottenham Hotspur FC Year of studying at Loughborough - 2011-2012 Degree Studied - MSc Sports Biomechanics
Why did you choose to study at Loughborough? The majority of jobs in sport now require applicants to hold a masters degree. I come from a village just outside of Loughborough and went to secondary school there, so I didn’t want to do my undergraduate degree so close to home but everyone knows the pedigree that Loughborough has for sport. My only intention after my degree was to do my masters at Loughborough, I was delighted when my application was successful. Do you think your experience with Loughborough FC put you ahead of the competition in terms of gaining a job within football? Without doubt. The practical side of my job was greatly helped through my time with the club. Session delivery is key and I got a lot of exposure and opportunity to do so. For this I have to thank Stu McLaren

and the players for being so good with me. You spent a year as an intern at Tottenham, how did that come about? What did you learn from your time there? It came about through the Loughborough Football Legend that is Kieran McKenna. A former pro there, his ties with the club gave me the opportunity to meet with the sports science team and secure the internship. I learnt an immeasurable amount, what I gained the most value from was the periodisation plan that is undertaken to ensure players are at their peak for match day.

POPPING THE BUBBLE
“A DIFFICULT PROBLEM TO FIX”
When the subject of match fixing in football is raised in England, one generally assumes it is a problem which does not really apply to the English game. We hear the term match fixing and automatically think of the Italian League which has been blighted by allegations of match fixing several times over the years, even resulting in titles being stripped and Juventus being relegated. However this week has seen a number of arrests made in connection to match fixing in our game. The problem is a global one and one that is only growing and those in charge of the game will be looking for a way to nip it in the bud.
Of course, betting and sport have been happy bedfellows since the very concept of sport began, but the issue of illegal betting has become all too prevalent with it. In recent years it is said that the primary epicentre of illegal betting is in the Asian market, with some critics estimating the illegal betting market to be worth approximately £320 billion a year. With those kinds of numbers, the incentive for those involved is clear. The very concept of betting on sport throughout certain parts of Asia is illegal, but generally Delroy Facey (above): Suspected to be held in custody as one of 6 men arrested on charges of match fixing.
www.loughboroughsport.com
popping the bubble
it is illegal most places to place a bet with an unregistered bookmaker. This presents a problem for the various governing bodies of football, not to mention the police. However the big problem as far as the spectator and the football leagues are concerned is the possible temptation of large fees tempting players to fix games or make mistakes on purpose in order to win ‘spot bets’. The notion is that the ‘bookie’ can approach a player and sway him with something that seems like a large fee, but is really a paltry sum in comparison to the money that will be made (and lost) by those involved in the actual betting itself. This week the story broke that three footballers had been arrested in connection to match fixing in lower league games and the fees involved were said to be around £50,000-70,000 in order to manipulate or dictate the score of the match. It is sad to see that there are professionals in the game willing to undermine their sport and turn their back on their teammates and supporters all for a large lump sum. However the investigations have been launched and this is a sign of progress. So far there has been no suggestion that one of the fixtures in question has been in the Premier League or the Championship, which may well be encouraging for the upper echelons of the game, but it serves
as a stark warning for the lower and nonleague clubs. If the big teams are not being targeted by the illegal bookmakers, then a very large percentage of the professional and semi professional players in England are at the mercy of the enormously wealthy bookmakers and the money will be a far greater temptation to those on more humble earnings than the mega rich superstars of the Premier League. Many of the high profile incidences of match fixing have taken place in the respective top leagues of the countries they are in, particularly in South America. In several instances there have even been full international matches placed under intense scrutiny. The fact it can happen to games of such importance act as a serious warning to the FA that there is no telling how great the influence of the bookmakers can be. Nobody wants to see a game influenced by an external factor, let alone such an underhanded and illicit one. We can only hope that the problem does not escalate in England to the point where it becomes common place to see match fixing. The fact the story has been met with such concern and wide scale media attention is encouraging. The moment the accusations are met with apathetic murmurs and groans as they are elsewhere in the world is the moment when the problem has become all too common.
